Default AeroForce o2 sensor help, come inside please!

Well I have a problem with the passenger side running PIG rich after a Patriot gold spring kit, Harland Sharp 1.8's, and 36lb injectors install by a reputable shop, and is smoking I believe caused by excessive fuel and washing oil causing me to consume oil probably. I have aeroforce guages and I can monitor my o2 sensor but it does so by millivolts from 9xx to like 2xxx. Can some one please translate those milivolts to AFR please?
I would greatly appreciate it!

Zeke

You need a wideband. the stock o2s just tell if it is rich or lean

that's what I'm really trying to determine. because I'm running rich on one side, and I'm trying to find out why?
thanks

How do you know if you are running rich? Do you have any codes?

No codes, but look at my sparkplugs after about 100-150 miles of driving. The pics arent that great sorry, cause I cant get the camera to focus, but you can get the idea, tell me what you think please.





All of the passenger side look like these. Also I am monitoring the millivolts from the o2 sensors and the passenger side o2 reads anywhere from 65 mv to 960 mv and is never steady! always up and down. The drivers side is pretty muched locked at 440-455 mv.

The O2 sensors are meant to oscillate, this is a good sign they are working. Although it is swinging further wan expected. If I saw 200mV to 800mV during normal driving then I'd be happier, but what you have shouldn't be a problem.
It moves up and down due to the Short Term Fuel Trims. The PCM is trying to go around 14.62 AFR.

I believe Front O2 is Bank 2 Sensor 1.

If the sensor is sitting around 440mV I'd say its not working. I found if i unplug an O2 sensor this is what you read.

A bad O2 sensor will cause the car to go into open loop which is very rich in a stock tune.

I haven't gotten a SES light!

But when I use me aeroforce guages the passenger o2 sensor does not move from the 435-450 millivolts the drivers side jumps back and forth from 78-880, which I hear is normal but for it to lock in the 435-450 range is not!
The shop had installed a new o2 sensor, 4 new plugs and o2 extension, after I took it back for the same reason. Paid for new parts and that wasn't even the cure or reason!!!

Wonder what they will tell me tomorrow!

850 to 900 mv is on the rich side, so above 900 you are definitely rich and the plugs prove it. The side that is not fluctuating has a problem, check the wiring then swap the 02s side to side and see if the problem moves.
